<span>The answer is (D) are k-selected. Primates are the most K-selected among mammals. Individuals produce only a few whom they invest a great amount of parental care. Reproductive strategies main goal is to produce offspring and successfully rear them to adulthood.</span>

The correct answer is D. are K-selected

Explanation:

In biology, the term k-selected is used to describe species in which there is high parental investment, but a low quantity of offspring. This implies in these species organisms have less offspring but invest in each new organism to guarantee survival. This reproductive strategy is the opposite of r-selected in which there is a high rate of offspring but little parental investment, this causes some individuals to survive while others die.

In the case of primates, they are k-selected because most of the species in primates including apes, gorillas, and humans have only one or two offspring each time, also, the parental investment is higher as offspring stays with parents for a longer time; at the same time, this keeps the population stable as higher parental investment guarantees most offspring survives. Thus, the primates' reproductive strategies are K-selected.

If an amoeba engulfs a particle of food does it use energy?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Endocytosis is a form of active transport hence require enegry powered by ATP. The amoeba needs to change shape and engulf and envaginate the particle and then use vessicle transportation to get the materials into the cell. This requires that the cytoskeleton - composed of tubules and filaments - contracts and relax accordingly. This requires energy by ATPs just like the myosin and actin of muscle.

Phagocytosis, another  form of endocytosis, is used by some cells such as immune cells to engulf foreign material and then destroy them by use of lysozymes. This is how phagocytes protect the body from invaders.

Hypothesize how the chromosomes of the parents would look compared to the chromosomes of their child?
marysya [2.9K]

During fertilization, the encounter of gametes results in the fusion of their nuclei. The nucleus of the egg cell thus formed is therefore a mixture of the two nuclei.

So the parent will only give half of his chromosomes, so the child will have 50% of his chromosomes that resemble each of his parents.

Another factor that must be mentioned is the genetic recombination between the chromosomes that occurs during meiosis of the reproductive cells. Thus, this will give a heterogeneous chromosome resulting from recombination of the two chromosomes of each of its parents, and the child will have a unique combination chromosome but keeping the alleles of both parents.

OKEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

The correct answer is: A. the same traits

Homologous chromosomes come in pair: one inherited from the mother and one inherited from the father. They have the same genes in the same loci, meaning that those genes code for the same traits. But, variants of those genes-alleles can be different e.g. one recessive one dominant). During the meiosis (cell division of gametes) homologous chromosomes align correctly with each other before separation.

Thank You!
